Why won't Eclipse open projects?

I'm running Helios SR2 and trying to open some old Eclipse based projects I pulled from the repository. Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize the .project files. I'm stuck using Eclipse as just a fancy text editor and compiling from the command line, which is most annoying. :-) Any thoughts on how to fix it?

Or, better yet, any way to automate migrating Eclipse projects into Netbeans (all our new stuff is in Netbeans and it would nice to standardize on one platform)?

Why Eclipse workspace is not opening?

What I have found out is that it is because of some views open in the workspace, and they somehow might block the Eclipse startup. For example the Processor Expert 'Component Repository' view can cause this in Eclipse Neon (4.6) or Oxygen (4.7).

How do I open all projects in Eclipse?

In Eclipse, try Project > Open Project and select the projects to be opened. Show activity on this post. In case you closed multiple projects and trying to re-open all of them then in Project Explorer , select all projects. Go to Project -> Open Project .

Try (re)importing the projects. File → Import → General → Existing Projects into Workspace.
